This lineup… it’s just… like wtf. Someone had to die at that concert.
Summer Slaughter 2012 Tour Dates
I could have sworn Fallujah was on this tour but maybe not. I still stand by what I said a while back regarding Periphery because they’re definitely the odd band out this year. Not that it’s a bad thing, because it’ll be refreshing to have them play in the middle of everyone else.
Now when you see these dates I wouldn’t get too angry if they aren’t coming to your city based on this list. There’s a few areas where it seems like there’s a lot of time/distance between shows, such as June 31 in Fort Lauderdale then not playing until August 8 in NYC. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is another date (hell, maybe 3-5) added within that timerange. Hopefully we’ll see some more dates added (finalized?) in the near future.
UPDATE: Blah blah blah, the official and finalized dates were released a little bit ago.

And the best metal show of the year will be in… Cincinnati, Ohio
Someone had given me the heads up on tour dates for the 2012 Torture Tour (tour dates can be found here) and I would like to bring some real recognition to the April 14th date in Cincinatti, Ohio.
If you are within a reasonable driving distance it is very likely that this will be THE #1 show of the year. Why? It’s one of 2 dates on the Torture Tour that is in combination with another tour as well. Cannibal Corpse, Exhumed, Abysmal Dawn, and Arkaik will be teaming up with The Black Dahlia Murder, Skeletonwitch, Nile, and Hour of Penance by doing a joint show. Seriously, America will not have a more brutal show in 2012. It’s not really possible unless some of these bands get together again in combination with another tour, because this much metal never tours together unless it’s for a huge tour such as Summer Slaughter (which has CC, BTBAM, and The Faceless confirmed so far).
Cannibal Corpse, Exhumed, Abysmal Dawn, and Arkaik band together for the US Torture Tour
This is a pretty badass lineup, especially with Arkaik tossed on there. All the bands are great and this is some really good death metal that will be going across America. For tour dates check Cannibal Corpses tour tab on Facebook.
Also I am slightly unhappy that this isn’t going to be in my backyard in Cleveland, but that’s ok. Arkaik is a REALLY good band that needs more recognition, so if you go to this tour make sure you get there in time for Arkaik. Awesome bunch of guys who have gotten a new drummer in the past few months, and their guitarist is also in Deeds of Flesh.
